To allow plan review engineering approval without engineering analysis and
certification of those tower structures and foundations where adequate
information from the manufacturer is provided to determine code compliance.

Procedure:

A) All building permit applications are to be approved by Planning and Zoning
and Engineering Plan Review.

B) Minimum plans and information for engineering review are as follow:

1. A site plan showing the location of the antenna support and other
buildings on the site (see attached sample).

2. A building permit data summary sheet. (See attached sample.)

3. Other data required by Title 24, Chapter 10, Section 070 (c) of the City
Code as follows:

a) Prefabricated antenna support structures:

Applications for permits for such structures shall be submitted with a
copy of the manufacturer's specifications for the antenna support structure
and details of footings, guys and braces. The proposed maximum
cross-sectional area of the antenna(s) to be attached to the antenna support
structure shall be described by submission of manufacturer's specifications
where available, or by applicant prepared diagram where such specifications
are unavailable. Documented antenna support structures shall not require
submission of an engineer's analysis in the following circumstances:

i) When manufacturer's data, or the application of standards
promulgated by a nationally recognized standards organization demonstrate
that the antenna support structure with the proposed antenna installed in
substantial compliance with the manufacturer's instructions, is able to
withstand a minimum wind velocity of 80 M.P.H. at the standard height of
30 feet unless a different minimum wind load standard is mandated by the
UBC, in which case the standard mandated by the UBC shall apply; or

ii) When computations prepared by the applicant in accordance with
recognized mathematical and engineering principles and formulae
demonstrate from interpolation of manufacturer's specifications that the
antenna support structure, with the proposed antenna attached, is able to
withstand the applicable wind load standard referred to above, when the
antenna support structure is installed in a particular manner. Where such
extrapolated date is submitted in support of application for permit for a
documented antenna support structure, the Director may require submission
of computations, stress diagrams, computer data and such additional data
required by the Director, sufficient to show the correctness of the plans
and compliance with the structural provisions of Title 24 of the City
Code. Data required by the Director may include a brief summary of all
basic assumptions, design methods, structural systems, loading, lateral,
bracing systems, and a table of contents of the
computations.

b) Undocumented and unique antenna support structures:

Where a permit application is for an antenna support structure
which is not documented, or for a unique antenna support structure, the
Director may require the submission of such plans, specifications, and other
data as are minimally necessary to ensure compliance with the structural
provisions of Title 24 of the City Code and the wind load standard referred
to above, based upon a case by case review. Such data to be required shall
include the submission of an engineering analysis.
